Experimental observation of elastohydrodynamically lubricated contacts replenishment
Original language description
Starved regime of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) is usually described by smaller thicknesses of the lubrication film then fully flooded regime. This state can be caused by a number of reasons including operating conditions, lubricant supply or/and its properties. Rolling bearings contain multiple consequent elements which can increase the risk of starvation because the replenishment mechanisms are not able to recover lubricant film after each element passage. One of the main aspects in the rolling bearings is proximity of the rolling elements. Severity of the starvation increases as the mutual elements distance decreases. Lubricant which was squeezed out by rolling element need some time to replenish the gap. This paper presents experimental methods for measuring the time necessary for oil lubricant film recovery. Results obtained by these methods had been compared with existing theory. The theory describes behavior of replenishment of the central film thickness and change in the lubricant distribution across the rolling track. Both of these aspects qualitatively agree. Changes in the central film thickness during replenishment process were theoretically described as very nonlinear process which was confirmed by experiment in this paper.
